Join us for the launch of the magazine consisting of an evening with a panel talk about what this magazine means to us, reflection on lessons learned, where we wish to go from here next year, and finally celebrate and dance.

With ‘What’s Afghan Punk Rock, anyway?’ we are hoping to reflect storytelling that is powerful, yet vulnerable and truthful – a place to embrace our full complex humanity unapologetically, as a way of resistance. In addition, we are hoping to make it a space in which we can speak out loud collective frustrations and nuances of our intersectional experience as a starting point to a wider platform of solidarity.

A print magazine was the closest we could get to a somewhat safe and intentional space. Not only is there no nasty comment section, but also it will hopefully end up in the hands of those who really want to hear our stories.

We received worldwide submissions – heavy, sad, hilarious, bold. From poetry, comics, essays to a sci-fi story told by brilliant souls. You’ll have a chance to get a copy of the magazine on the night.
